The Williston Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) is launching a new promotion this year to support National Tourism Week, May 3 - May 9. The Williston Passport, a booklet created by the CVB, encourages community members to be tourists in their own town and take advantage of special restaurant and retail offers by visiting locations listed in the Passport during National Tourism Week.

The Passport features local dining, retail, attractions and recreational activities in the Williston area participants can visit to get their Passport stamped. Many of the destinations offer a special discount when a participant presents their Passport Book. Those who complete their booklet by getting three stamps during the week of May 3 can return their Passport to the CVB by 5pm on Monday, May 11 to be entered into a drawing for over $250 in gifts and gift cards to local businesses and attractions.

The CVB is inviting local non-profit organizations to participate by helping distribute Passports to Williston residents. Passports will be labeled with each participating group’s name; the organization with the most completed Passports returned to the CVB at the end of National Tourism Week will win $400 for their organization. The group who comes in second will receive $200 from the CVB. In addition, all participating non-profit groups will be paid $.25 per book that is completed (stamped three times) with their name on it and turned back in to the CVB by the public.

Williston Tourism Passports will be available for pick-up on April 28 and must be distributed by Saturday, May 2, in order for residents to have a whole week to get their books stamped. Each non-profit group will receive 200 Passports to distribute to their members, friends and neighbors in the community while supplies last.
